THE Kansas legislature, while chang
ing the name of st. John county to that
of Logan, evidently either did not know
or forgot that there was a county in
Kansas named Davis, in honor of the
same gentleman after whom Texas has
just named county jeff Davis. -
This may seem little queer, never
theless it is true, See page 1901 of the
History of Kansas, where it says:
Davis county was named after that
southern celebrity, who afterwards be-
came the head and front of the rebel
lion for the destruction of the union. -

THE clause in the Interstate COM
merce law prohibiting mileage, excur-
sion and communication tickets is a
great puzzle alike to operators and
people. If it is to be construed literal
ly what will the great armies of subur-
ban residents in the city of Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburg, New
York and other places do? Few if any
could afford to pay 10 to 90 cents per
trip to and from their homes. Since,
however, the commission has to do
with the Interpretation of the law
there need be no suicides vet.

A False Claim.

The theory Of the public regula-
ton and control Of railroads and 9TH
er corporations, first enacted into
law in this state, and by the state
carried up to the Supreme Court OF
the United States, we maintain with
increasing favor"
Extract from the 7th resolution Of
the republican state convention ut
Des Moines, Aug, 1887.
We should hope 10. The law to
which the resolution refers was pass
ed by the anti-monopoly legislature
Of 1874. The farmers then combined
pooled their issues-voted for men
whom they could trust to give them
needed legislation, and obtained it.
The claim Of increasing favor for
regulation and control Of railways
and other corporations" we hope is
true, because the party which put
Jorth this fraudulent claim Of friend
ship to such legislation, as soon az it
obtained power in the state repealed
the law regulating railroads enacting
in it, stead the useless commissioner
system.
The passage of such a resolution
simply indicates that the republican
leaders recognize the fact that there
Is demand for legislation to regu-
late and control the railways. II the
people mean to have It, the fewer re-
publicans elected to the legislature
the more certain the attainment of
what they demand.

The Democrats and Independents
Of Winnesheik county are making a
valiant fight against the most un-
scrupulous and rotten political ring
that ever cursed q people. There is
no crime its leaders would not COM
init to retain power-which means to
remain In the avenues that lead to
public plumber. Such being the fact
We are not surprised to see such old
time republicans as Allnon Rice and
Warren Danforth, with hosts Of 9TH
ers leave the party to seek redress
Of public wrongs, denied by the re-
publican leaders of Iowa, through in
dependent political action. The
hope Of the country, the salvation Of
the people, is in the triumph Of
mon Of independent thought and ac-
ton, over the fanaticisln that feasts
and fattens on public wrongs and
that runs riot in making the public
treasury pay tribute to private greed.
Voters OF Winnesheik. look Mt the
men who through the fiction Of bond
gained access to the treasury Of your
county, and through their duplicity
and wrong drove the lalnented Mead
er to self destruction. Remember
that the polished hypocrites who
pray and mean no good, are more
dangerous In society in every walk
OF life than those who swear q little
and mean no harm.

We understand from reliable
source that the United States Collect
or Of Internal Revenue for this dis
trict has granted licenses to some
fourteen or fifteen persons in Cresco,
whereby they are authorized to con-
tinue the saloon business to complete
the revenue year. We also under
stand that none OF them were arpli-
cants for licenses. Surely matters
have come to pretty pass when a
revenue officer goes about the coum-
try forcing saloon licenses upon men
who don't want 'em, and who can't
use 'eln. But We suppose this bond
ed debt must be met, and the govern
nient il anticipating the interest Il
year in advance to relieve the press
ing needs OF the poor distressed bond
holders who stood in urgent need of
the money. As it il also paying this
poor distressed class premium Of 81
per cent on it's bonds perhaps it may
be necessary to send an enmissary
to Ellna to dispose Of few licenses
there in the salne way.

His entire life and his speeches

The soldiers should vote for him,
because lee wore the blue with honor

Teachers should vote for him, be-

We suppose it can't he helped now,
but the fact il there is a lot Of bad
stories afloat and have been for sev-
eral years, they ought not to be true
for the sake OF the persons
responsible for his noini-
nation, and it will require about
four acres Of the space Of the Times
this week for afIidavits to deceive
partisans into his support at the
polls for Sheriff. Such necessities
are huinilinting and such aflidavits
need to be taken with a great deal OF
allowance they will be. Such
stories generally have too much
foundation to be wiped out by
trumped up affidavits the last hour
before election. Frank Kyle was

tax payers. Albert Wallace don't
need any whitewash and shame on

Farmers, pool your issues, combine,

good. Your divisions enable the us
urers, the railroads and other corpor-
ate Inonopolists to get in their work

Labor farmers should meet on com
mon ground, pool their issues and
shake hands in common cause
against their enemies. Remember
also that in 1874 the State Of Iowa
had law to regulate the railroads
in the interest of the farmers. War
rem Danforth, then in the legislature,
favored that law and voted for it.
Two years after, the corporations
asked its repeal and the republican
party granted the request. Not a
farmer in Iowa asked its repeal. Re-
member these facts on election day
and vote together.

The government OF republic
should be the expression Of the com
bined judgment of a majority OF all
the people moulded into law. The
only means given the individual
elector to exert influence upon legis-
lation il through the aid OF the ballot,
which is entrusted to him on the as
sumption that he will, in its use, con-
tribute to the State, as far as practic-
able, the weight Of his Judgment and
to that extent mid in shaping its legis-
lation. If such equal voice in the
government is, through any device
denied, or in any manner abridged
to all the people, then, to that extent
have we departed from q govern
Inent Of, for and by the people, and
and started on the road to a govern
ment where might makes right. I"
No man is wise enough to foresee the
consequences Of principle Of gov
ernment In organizing Legislative or
congressional districts SO as to en-
able a minority of the voters Of a
state under the pretense Of promot-
ing the public good, to control its
law making body. Such was the
purpose of the legislature of Iowa in
gerrymandering the Legislative dis
tricts Of the state SO that the vote OF
an elector in-one district has the pow
er In electing representatives given
to four electors in another district.
Every elector ought to exercise the
use Of the ballot to satisfy his own
individual conscience and judgment.
This he owes to the state, and the
state owes to him the right of having
his ballot, no matter where he re-
sides, count AZ much In shaping leg
islation as the ballot Of any other
elector residing elsewhere in the
state. The crime Is equally heinous
in Iowa or Mississippi. The Mississ-
ippian If true to his manhood will re-
buke the gerrymander in his own
state for the very good reason that
he does not have a vote any where
else. The Iowan has no power to
rebuke tho creation Of shoestring dis
tricts in Mississippi but he can show
that he repudiates the principle by
rebuking at the ballot box In Iowa
the criminals who have destroyed
the equality Of citizenship in Iowa in
the formation Of Legislative districts,
The man who stands up and do
nounces crime in Mississippi but
stands up in its defence in Iowa by

What have our Assessors been
Doing?

From the report Of the Auditor Of
State compiled from the Assessors re-

er Of cattle found by them in the state
for 1886 and 1887, with the total value
and the average as assessed was as
follows:
No. Total Value. Az. Va,

Down in Jasper county q few days
ago Governor Larrabee made a
speech in which he stated. that Iowa
contained three million three-year-
old steers, that the average loss per
head on them owing to democratic
rule in the federal government
was so a head-$3O, OOO, 600, or s.
600, 900 more than all the cattle in the
state are valued at.
Had the Governor been as vigilant
in hunting up the railroad property
Of the state as he has been in looking
up steers, he would not have assessed
t275, OOO,OOO Of railroads at t3S, OOO,-
600. But then it must be remember
ed that during the war the Governor
was hunting the steers and cows Of
war widows with chattel mortgages
which has enlarged his experience in
the steer business.
So far as anything done by the fed
eral government to affect prices is
concerned 1t il well to remember that
the laws remain just as the republi-
can party left them when II went out
Of power, that the democrats control
only one branch Of congress and
have the executive, but that without
the concurrence Of the Senate, which
Is republican, not one of the bad laws
OF the republican party can be chang
ed or modified. Consequently the
evils which result from democratic
government at Washington, il the
result of bad republican laws that
ought to be repealed and better ones
enacted In their stead.
